Fukui Osagoe Minka Garden

This might have been the best restored houses of old style japan that I have visited. Also, you can fully walk around. Go over the stairs. It is really beautiful. Although, I will admit that it’s not easy to access it.

Historic Place from Edo Dinasty. Maintained as it is still now!

This is a place where you can learn about old folk houses and the way of life back then. It was even included in my 3rd grade social studies textbook. There are bamboo decorations near Tanabata where you can write strips of paper. On the day of Tanabata, it will be lit up!! What's more, admission is free on this day!! Apparently it's a good place to watch Fukui fireworks!! (Unfortunately, I've never seen them from this location 💦) There is a parking lot, but it is small.

2023.3.11 This year, I arrived in time for the beautiful white plum blossoms. Red plums are good, but I can't stand the cleanliness of white plums. 2020.3.9 I went to see plum blossoms. After all, if you want plums, this is the place. The earthen walls, thatched roof, bamboo forest, and plum blossoms are all good features.

Admission was free on Sunday. Is it a plum blossom? It was beautiful. We also took a walk together at the Culture Park next door. It's a good place for a walk. It feels pretty lonely when you're alone.
